Folks, as I've warned for a few months: I have just finished writing, and revising, my first (comic) novel,
Too Much of Nothing, after authoring something like fourteen non-fiction books. Desiring some instant feedback, though I might regret this, I am making the first chapter available in its entirety if you go
here. Or if you request it and send me an email, I will then reply with the opening chapter as an attachment. The only requirement: You read it within a week and send me some comment, even if it's just one word, such as "Hilarious!" or "Disappointing!"
Like most fiction writers, even those new to it, I don't want to really say "what it's about" or "give too much away," but obviously my many years as senior editor at
Crawdaddy are kicking in. A capsule: A one-hit wonder former star, who now lives in one of the most famous rock 'n roll houses, goes out on the road at last, searching for his muse--and his suddenly missing wife. Meanwhile, eco-guerillas are after him. Humorous (and dangerous) settings include the village of Woodstock, Key West, and New York City. Now I've said too much already. But if you're interested,
read it now here or drop me a line today at:
epic1934@aol.com. Guaranteed: A few laughs. Thanks.
